Even if you leave aside the incidents that raise question marks around him (his lack of fitness last summer, the Drip Doctors nonsense, the stupid incident with the salute, this supposed leak about his arrogance) Why would we keep someone that did press conferences last year saying: “Guardiola wanted me at City, but I chose to play elsewhere?”
We want a squad of world class players, an unbreakable unit, who will fight for the the manager until the last breath of every game. A situation where the best players players may turn down Real, Bayern or Barcelona to play for City & Pep.This has been the plan since 2008, and it’s just starting to reach its peak.
What kind of signal does it send when one player puts himself ahead of the squad, it doesn't work out, then is welcomed back into the team? Doesn’t make sense, I'm afraid.
Nasri was a great player on his day, who scored some crucial goals, and gave us some great performance in big games. But short of a Yaya-style climbdown and a complete change of attitude, he has to go, unfortunately.
